In Round 16, the Eels will host the Titans, who are eager to secure back-to-back wins to escape the bottom of the ladder.
Currently, the Titans are struggling in 16th place, just below the Eels.
Despite missing key players like Moeaki Fotuaika and captain Tino Fa'asuamaleaui due to Origin commitments, the Titans recently upset Manly with a 28-8 victory, thanks to strong performances from Kieran Foran and AJ Brimson.
The Eels, although improving, face challenges ahead as their halfback Mitchell Moses will be sidelined with a calf injury, which also eliminates him from the remainder of the Origin series.
Nevertheless, their young players are stepping up and will aim to fill the gap left by their absent skipper as they prepare to face the Titans.
